Destiny
by Kathy Kinsey
Ive loved and lost so many times,
My heart could stand no more.
And just when I thought Id not find love,
There you were, knocking at the door.
I struggled, should I let him in?
Should I risk the pain?
But, oh how right it felt this time,
I had everything to gain.
So I took a chance and laid my heart
Bare, open, for you to see.
God answered my fervent prayers, I thought,
This is the one for me.
I cant describe the joy I feel,
Just being by your side.
And the intensity of my love for you
Is something I cannot hide.
Your touch, your kiss, your warm embrace,
They thrill my very soul,
With so much joy and happiness,
My life is now made whole!
Your voice, it soothes me, makes me smile,
Is music to my ears.
And when Im wrapped up in your arms,
It takes away my fears.
I questioned God, "Why take so long
To bring my love around?
Why was it not many years ago
That love such as this I found?"
I heard him gently say, "My child,
You had so much to learn,
Before you could appreciate,
That for which you yearned.
You had to grow and realize,
On Me you could depend,
To provide for you your every need,
Before your pain could end.
Please understand, my heart it ached,
To see you suffer, dear.
I had to turn away each time,
You shed another tear.
But with each broken heart, you see,
Youve learned so very much.
And now youre ready for this love,
Your tender heart to touch."
I thought about the things He spoke
Unto my heart right then,
And realized He was so right,
To send you now, not then.
For now I can appreciate,
You so much more, my love.
And I know deep within my soul,
You were sent from Him above.
To share my life, my hopes, my dreams,
My laughter and my tears,
As I will share yours, too as we,
Walk softly through the years.
Now every night as I lay down,
And pray to Him above,
I say a special prayer of thanks,
For giving me your love.
